  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS.

No external website access

I have just installed Plesk 8.1 for Windows on a windows 2003 server.

I have everything seemingly setup however I cannot reach my websites from the internet - only on the local machine.

It comes up with a

Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)

error. I can view the site on the local machine, the nameserver resolves, I can ping the website address from the internet - just no go.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. the website (i'm testing with) is
http://www.rogerstrailers.com.au
 
also,

the server is not on my own network. I remote desktop to it.

The one server does everything - DNS, IIS and mail.

It has static IP.

It has an internal and external ip address - all DNS related setting are pointing to the external one.
 
What I have just realised is that that error is the one generated by Firefox.

The error is a HTTP 400 - Bad Request
